Meet Your Therapist - Lauren Beattie

Lauren gets how overwhelming life can feel right now—whether it’s dealing with anxiety, navigating relationships, figuring out your identity, or managing stress. She’s here to help you slow down, understand what’s going on inside, and reconnect with your true self.
If you're here, you're likely looking to learn a little more about me and how I might support you through your journey. Let me share a bit about myself to help you determine if you think we’d be a good fit.

Lauren is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My passion for working with people comes from a deep curiosity about what drives us, how we evolve, and the impact of the people and experiences around us. 
My journey to becoming a therapist took a bit of a scenic route. I’ve dedicated myself to learning and growing through both education and practical experience. 
I began my career in Child and Youth Work, then completed my B.A. in Psychology and Family Studies at Western University. While working in healthcare with individuals and families affected by traumatic brain injuries, I saw a gap in mental health support during major life crisis'— a realization that led me to pursue my Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
My own journey through infertility deeply shaped the way I shows up in my therapeutic work. I know firsthand how isolating, confusing, and emotionally overwhelming the path to parenthood can be - especially when others don’t see the silent grief, frustration, or longing beneath the surface. It was through navigating my own experience that I found a deeper sense of purpose in holding space for others who are walking a similar road or navigating other challenges associated with relationships, anxiety and grief.
After navigating our own fertility challenges, my partner and I are now proud foster/adoptive parents, which comes with it’s own boat of challenges and deep fulfillment. 
Lauren understands that healing doesn’t mean “fixing” — it means feeling seen, supported, and not so alone.

Lauren Beattie Counselling is a space where you can be real — a place to slow down, sort through your thoughts, and begin healing at your own pace. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, fertility challenges, low self-esteem, or just feeling stuck, therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and reconnect with yourself.
My approach blends professional training with lived experience and a genuine passion for helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered. I work with young adults and couples who are trying to find their way through the messiness of growing, grieving, and figuring out who they are — in life, in relationships, and in their own minds.
Just like many of my clients, I’ve faced my own hurdles and continue to grow through them. Whether it’s managing stress, navigating major life changes, or finding balance in the chaos of life, I’m constantly evolving and learning too. This personal journey helps me to relate and reminds me that healing and growth are processes we’re all part of.
Outside of my therapy practice, I enjoy going on hiking adventures with my pups, diving into new books (both for fun and professional growth), getting creative with my Cricut projects, and enjoying time with my family and friends. These activities help me maintain balance and peace, which is an essential part of my own self-care journey. 
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me—I truly look forward to the possibility of working together.
If you're curious to see if we’d be a good fit, reach out here, I’d love to connect.
